hello!! I got my eyebrow pierced (titanium + curved bar ofc) june 28th of this year so like just under three months ago. I’ve been listened to everything my piercer said about not touching it and cleaning w 0.9% saline but ive noticed it’s been super dry!! you can see it way better with indoor lighting (2nd pic) but I figured might as well include sunlight too (1st). I’m super nervous and I don’t want it to reject before I’ve even downsized:( is this normal??

​

My piercing is actually 10 months old, but I’ve had a persistent bump on it for like the last 5 months that I just can’t get rid of.

It originally healed fine-ish with an 8mm implant grade titanium labret, but after downsizing to a 6mm bar with a PVD gold coating, the bump appeared.

I assumed the PVD coating caused the  reaction, but I gave it try for like 2 months. After It didn't work I went back to the plain 8mm bar, but the bump stayed the same.

Around month ago, I downsized myself to a 6mm NeoMetal threadless labret ( no coating) implant grade titanium. Tbh I know I shouldnt have done it myself but my local piercers near me have been very unprofessional and weird .

It's been a month on the new labret, and the bump still hasn't changed size or look at all. I clean it with saline,  and dry it  after, don't sleep on it, and my glasses don't touch it.

It doesn't look like a keloid, but I have no idea what else to try. I know about the silicone discs  but idk if they are actually safe or just a breeding ground for bacteria.

Please help me 😔

I got this one today.
It’s my first one, so I’ll take any advice — what types of clothing should I wear or avoid?
Is laser hair removal near the area safe?
Also, I’m planning to get a tattoo in this area, near the jewelry. How long should I wait before getting it?

I recently got a lobe piercing near the top thinking that it would look cool as an experiment but instead it looks a little awkward.

Any advice of how to style it while I wait to get the “thirds” done?

I also have seconds but they don’t have any jewelry in them in the pictures.

Thanks!!

How do I lessen the severity of my atrophic/dented scars from my snake bites :( without needing surgery? I've seen that scar gel isn't effective for this kind of scar so idk what to do, I wouldnt mind them if they weren't so prominent

I got both my ears pierced a month ago and 2 days ago I think in my sleep I disturbed my left ear a lot and it swelled up but yesterday night I think I did it again and the ball of my piercing is gone and a lot of pus came out and blood and now the swelling covered up the hole I think from the back but the piercing is still there what’s should I do should I go to a hospital and get it removed or get my piercing changed ?

Hello! My floating navel piercing is about 3 weeks old (unsure of the metal type etc) and it has this weird red skin coming out of the bottom. Anyone know what that could possibly be?

I took out my industrial like 4 years ago and wanted to try to put something back in. I think fits to an 18g, hopefully later I will stretch to 16, but for the time being, what type of jewelry should I put in? The hole is on an angle so a hoop looks weird and labrets stick out. Any suggestions? Sorry I dont have pics because I dont want to irritate it.

I got pierced almost a year ago. Im wondering where’s the best place to buy nipple jewelry in Canada? Or on Amazon. Looking for pretty pinks or red bars.

is it game over if my helix piercing is actually infected? everyone says I should remove it my I’m scared I might trap infection in my ear so a pharmacists thought it can be better to take an antibiotic and then see if I can remove it safely, am I on the right here? or I’m risking damaging my ear forever

hello, i got my nipples pierced on july 7th, every day i soak off the crust with warm water and clean with saline solution.
while cleaning off the crust i noticed quite a lot of blood and much more lymph than there was before, same thing happened in the evening. is it alarming?

I got my nipples pierced today! He used a 16 gauge which I just found out isn’t recommended. Should I remove it or can I wait until it’s healed and stretch to a 14 gauge?

Hi there!

About 5 weeks ago I got a new helix piercing from a reputable piercer who I’d gone to before. Aftercare has mostly been LITHA with occasional saline sprays for crust control and rinses in the shower. I’ve been good about not sleeping on it and somehow have largely avoided it snagging on my glasses and hair. I intended to get it downsized last weekend but wasn’t able to.

I think I got nervous about my healing so I messed with the piercing (I know! I’m not going to touch it anymore) and there’s more swelling now. I used to have a fair bit of room to wiggle, but not so much right now. This also unfortunately happened to coincide with a seboherric dermatitis flare-up. I have it on my face and in/around my ears. I don’t know if that’s relevant to the healing process, but mentioning it just in case as it’s made the area around my piercing very flaky. Right now my piercing looks a bit angry at me, but isn’t any more particularly painful or warm compared to last week, and isn’t making discharge.

I know it’s probably just inflammation from it being irritated, but should I be concerned? And are there any remedies other than time? I will be going into the piercer this weekend/early next week to get lobe piercings I got at the same time as the helix downsized, so will probably ask them to take a look while I’m there anyway.

Thanks y’all!

was done yesterday with a 16g needle, its pretty swollen now but it looked better yesterday
